Are you a non-US resident who wants to start an online university in the US?

At Expert Education Consultants, we can help you start an online university in the United States without stepping into the country.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • You can own a C-Corporation in some States and run it remotely without a Social Security Number.
  • You can hire a contact person who resides in the State to represent you, attend committee meetings, and reply to any inquiries made by federal or state regulators
  • You can apply for an Employer Identification Number without having a Social Security Number 
  • After you obtain your Employer Identification number, you must be present physically in the US to open a bank account.
  • Familiarize yourself with federal and state regulations and submit reports and tax returns in time to remain compliant and avoid penalties
  • Get liability insurance to cover your business from unforeseen circumstances
